Description

How to check the fax's transmission history

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to facsimile, and more particularly, to a method of confirming a transmission history of a facsimile equipped with a function of confirming a detail of a transmission.

In general, a facsimile scans a document or a photograph for transmission and transmits it through a transmission line so that a subscriber connected to the transmission line can check the contents of the document or photo (hereinafter collectively referred to as a message) from a distance. A communication system that allows

In such a facsimile, in general, a function of checking a transmission history may be provided to check whether a transmission was transmitted correctly without an error. In this case, the transmission history is a counterpart's number, transmission time, This is the function to print out the transmission status such as the time required. This is a function commonly used by facsimile users by informing the user whether such a main operation was normally performed in a facsimile whose operation of transmitting and receiving images of a document is a main operation. This function will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is an example of a control flowchart of a central processing unit of a conventional fax transmission history confirmation process. Referring to Figure 1, the central processing unit for controlling the overall operation of the facsimile performs the transmission operation of the facsimile in step 30 and after confirming that the transmission of the facsimile is completed in step 32, the process proceeds to step 34 thereafter enters the confirmation key It is judged whether or not. If the confirmation key is not input for a certain period of time, it is terminated. If the confirmation key is entered within a certain period of time, in step 37, a message asking the user whether to output the current transmission history is displayed through a predetermined display device. In step 38, it is checked whether the input for output is input by the user. In step 39, the current transmission history is output.

On the other hand, the process of checking the user's recent transmission can be confirmed by a combination of various function keys. Recent transmissions may vary slightly from facsimile, but usually print out the previous 50 transmissions to the printer.

By the way, the method of confirming the transmission history provides a convenience to confirm the current transmission history by a single key input, but there was an inconvenience to go through a separate process to confirm the recent transmission history.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a transmission history confirmation method that can more conveniently confirm the recent confirmation of the transmission history.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a process of allowing a user to select one of a recent transmission history and a current transmission history when a transmission request is completed and a key for requesting confirmation of transmission history by a user is input. It is characterized in that for outputting the selected details of the transmission history by the selection key input by the user.

3 is a control flowchart of a central processing unit of a transmission history checking process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, specific details, such as a specific configuration process, are shown, which are provided to help a more general understanding of the present invention. Such specific matters may be modified or changed within the scope of the present invention. It is self-evident to those of ordinary knowledge in Esau.

2 is a schematic block diagram of a facsimile to which the present invention is applied. Referring to FIG. 2, the CPU 10 controls the overall operation of the facsimile according to an operation program, a protocol control program, and various reference data stored in an internal memory. According to a feature of the present invention, the CPU 10 is provided with a program for selectively printing the transmission details by the user and data according thereto. The operation panel 14 includes a plurality of numeric keys, function keys and a display device, and applies key data according to key input to the central processing unit 10 and displays various states of the facsimile under the control of the central processing unit 10. The scanner 16 scans an original and outputs image data corresponding to the original image to the central processing unit 10. The image data output from the scanner 16 is processed by the central processing unit 10 and stored in the memory 12. The image data is transmitted by a modem (modulator-demodulator) 18 or printed by the printer 22. The modem 18 modulates the output data and the image data of the central processing unit 10 into analog signals, transmits them to the transmission path through the Network Control Unit (NCU) 20, and demodulates the received analog signals. The NCU 20 forms a line between the transmission line and the modem 18 under the control of the CPU 10. The printer 22 prints an image under the control of the central processing unit 10. The sensor unit 24 informs the central processing unit 10 of the state of the document and the recording sheet.

Hereinafter, an operation according to the present invention of the above-described facsimile will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 3 is a control flowchart of the central processing unit of the transmission history check process according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the CPU for controlling the overall operation of the facsimile performs the facsimile transmission operation in step 40 and then confirms that the facsimile transmission is completed in step 42. In step 44, the controller receives a key input from the user to be instructed to perform the next operation. This is to perform the operation of outputting the transmission details when the confirmation key is input at any time after the transmission operation is completed according to the feature of the present invention. Thereafter, in step 46, it is determined whether a confirmation key for confirming transmission history for checking whether an error occurs in the transmission operation is input. If not, in step 47, the operation proceeds to the operation of the corresponding key. If so, proceed to Step 48. In step 48, a message requesting to select one of the current transmission history and the latest transmission history is displayed on the display device, and then in step 50 it is checked whether an input for outputting the current transmission history has been input by the user. If there is an input requesting the output of the current transmission details, the process proceeds to step 52 to output the current transmission details. If there is an input requesting the output of the recent transmission details, the procedure proceeds to step 54 to output the latest transmission details and ends. .

As described above, the present invention provides a process of allowing a user to select one of a recent transmission history and a current transmission history when a transmission request is completed and a key for requesting confirmation of transmission history is input by the user. By outputting the selected details of the transmission history by the selection key input by the has the advantage that the confirmation of the recent transmission history more convenient.
